The lists of genocide
Chapter 9
For the tree that is stuck in your eyes is a great stupid tree, and you look at it and think that it fills the whole universe with evil, and that no other tree has ever grown so tall and burned the eyes so viciously.
2And truly this tree burns your eyes with a fire like lnapalm, so that you think you cannot stand it.
3And you beat your breasts and say, I can never grow used to this tree, and I can never eat of its fruit or climb its branches, because it is an evil tree,
4And so I will sit far away from the tree, and I will do everything possible to show that I am not of this tree, and think that its fruit is poison, and that its branches should be climbed only by criminals.
5More than this, you say, I will do everything differently from what is done by the criminals who climb the branches of this tree.
6I will not wear the clothes that they wear,
7And I will not consume the things that they consume,
8And I will not like the mthings that they like,
9And I will do everything there is to do differently from the criminals of the tree,
10nIncluding not wash,
11And not shave,
12And not brush my teeth,
13And not launder my clothes,
14Or any other thing that is like what the criminals do.
